Trump to Meet Privately With Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong

President-elect Donald Trump is scheduled to meet privately with Brian Armstrong, CEO of cryptocurrency exchange platform Coinbase, on Monday. Sources say the discussion will center on potential personnel appointments for Trump’s second administration, signaling his increasing focus on crypto.

Trump, who once criticized Bitcoin, has made a dramatic pivot, becoming a vocal advocate for digital assets. Earlier this year, during the annual Bitcoin conference, he promised to establish a Bitcoin and crypto presidential advisory council to create transparent regulations if elected.

This meeting highlights the industry’s growing influence in Washington and Armstrong’s potential role in shaping the future of crypto under the new administration.
